RTK corrections in Nevada
RTK Premium delivers RTK corrections in Nevada in NAD83(2011), epoch 2010.0, over standard NTRIP. It serves the best solution available at each site: a network (VRS) solution where one exists, as on 2+ networks across far southern Nevada, and corrections from the nearest reference station where none does, as across most of the north and west, where accuracy depends on the distance to that station. On network RTK it reaches under 1.5 cm horizontally and 2.5 cm vertically in a fixed solution. Parts of central and eastern Nevada have no RTK Premium network today, so check each site on the coverage map. It costs $900 per device per year, or $690 for RTK Core, and a 14-day free trial comes first.

Correction services in Nevada
Nevada crews choose between commercial network RTK, crowd-sourced base stations, satellite-delivered corrections and their own base.
| Type | Typical operator | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial network RTK | A private provider with stations across several states. | How many correction sources serve your area, the published service level and its remedy, and the term. |
| Crowd-sourced network | Independent owners hosting single base stations. | Distance to the nearest base, station uptime, and how each base was surveyed. |
| Satellite or state-space (PPP-RTK, SSR) | A provider broadcasting an error model without a local base. | Convergence time, accuracy and vertical performance. |
| Your own base | Your crew, on a surveyed point. | The survey of the base point, range, and the time spent setting it up and guarding it. |
Coordinates and heights
RTK Premium delivers NAD83(2011), epoch 2010.0, on every Nevada connection, and ITRF on request. Nevada uses three State Plane zones under NAD83: East, Central and West. Set the project, the controller and the correction service to the same frame and zone before the job starts.

- Enter the caster rtkpremium.xyz, port 2101 and mountpoint COMMON in your controller or receiver, with the username and password from your account.
- Measure a control point you trust before the job starts, and compare the result with its published coordinates in your project's frame.
Industries using precise positioning or RTK corrections in Nevada
Gold mining: Nevada was the leading gold-producing state in 2025, with about 64% of the estimated 160 metric tons mined in the United States. Pit, haul-road and stockpile surveys at those mines run on precise positioning. (USGS, Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026, Gold, 2026)
Hay: Nevada had 3,000 farm operations on 5,900,000 acres operated in 2025, and farmers cut 1,011,000 tons of alfalfa hay from 215,000 acres. Irrigated hay fields are leveled, planted and cut along lines that need a correction holding pass after pass. (USDA NASS, State Agriculture Overview, 2025)
Roads: Nevada had 47,564 miles of public road in 2024, and federal agencies were responsible for 7,650 of its 36,905 rural miles. Grading, culvert work and resurfacing on those roads are staked and checked against design. (FHWA, Highway Statistics, Table HM-10, 2024)
Power plants: Nevada's power plants had a net summer capacity of 16,725 megawatts in 2024, and natural gas was the primary energy source. Solar farms, substations and transmission routes are laid out from surveyed points. (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2024)
Questions about RTK in Nevada
Which RTK correction service serves Nevada?
RTK Premium serves Nevada in NAD83(2011), epoch 2010.0, with corrections from the nearest reference station across most of the north and west and network RTK on 2+ networks across far southern Nevada. The coverage map shows no network across parts of central and eastern Nevada today, so check your site before you plan a job.
Is there a free RTK network in Nevada?
Community networks run free single base stations of varying quality. Check the distance to the nearest base, how it was surveyed, and what its operator commits to on availability and support before you rely on it for paid work.
How much does RTK cost in Nevada?
RTK Premium costs $900 per device per year, RTK Core $690 and RTK Access $350, with monthly plans from $39 to $100, excluding sales tax.
Which reference frame and zone do I use in Nevada?
RTK Premium delivers NAD83(2011), epoch 2010.0, with ITRF on request. Project the coordinates into the Nevada State Plane zone for your site, East, Central or West.
Do I need my own base station?
Network RTK across far southern Nevada builds the correction from the surrounding stations, so no base is needed there. On the nearest-base stream across most of Nevada, a site far from the station may do better with a base of its own, so measure a known point near the site first.
How does RTK Premium choose the correction in Nevada?
RTK Premium serves the best solution available at each site: a network (VRS) solution where one exists, and corrections from the nearest reference station where none does, as across most of the north and west. On network RTK it reaches under 1.5 cm horizontally and 2.5 cm vertically in a fixed solution, and on the nearest-base stream accuracy falls with distance from the station.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes. The 14-day free trial runs on your own receiver and needs no payment.
